Correct, this is also an add on sold by Printrbot if you're into it. I think they're even working on something more integrated as you can see on their twitter.

1 simple question : how old was this post ? If this stems back from their initial KS product : OK. I don't think this is true any longer : they have now integrated the production of the boards internally (no longer subcontracted) and overall integration in the product seems OK. Never had a problem in a year. That being said, they announced on their twitter their intention to move away from mini USB on the coming board revisions.
